Credicorp (NYSE:BAP) just posted third quarter 2026 earnings that showed higher net income in Peruvian soles, strong loan expansion and a 19.9% return on equity, while flagging possible El Niño related provisions ahead.
At a share price of $368.74, Credicorp has seen short term momentum cool with a 30 day share price return that declined 3.44%.

Most Popular Narrative: 14% Undervalued
Against the last close of $368.74, the analyst consensus Narrative on Simply Wall St points to a fair value of $427.48, implying Credicorp could be trading below the level that consensus earnings and revenue assumptions support when discounted at 9.87%.
The current valuation implies the market is discounting Credicorp’s upgraded medium term ROE ambition and stronger capital return profile as already fairly reflected in the share price, even though this narrative holds that the stock is undervalued.
The group’s shift toward a more diversified, fee generating and digitally led business model, including integration of digital units into a neobank structure and expansion into cross border banking, increases the mix of capital light income streams and cross sell potential in areas like payments, wealth and insurance, which can support more stable earnings growth over time.

Result: Fair Value of $427.48 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the Credicorp narrative can crack if a stronger El Niño hits that 9% exposed loan book hard, or if renewed political shocks in Peru choke demand.
